Alright guys, I know it sounds like suicide at this point but I’ve taken regular USH at my school (No Honors, only CP and AP) for the last two years, and have had relatively zero struggles in the course. I didn’t qualify for APUSH I because I didn’t meet one of the many criteria Freshman year, and so I didn’t qualify for APUSH II.</p>
USH is one of my best subjects and I’ve decided to get an AP Review book (REA: All Access) to read to take the SAT Subject test. I figured that with all this preparation, I can practice DBQs and FRQs for the next 5 months along with reading this AP review book before the AP tests and take the AP test.</p>
Would this be possible to do this without reading the textbook? I talked to my USH teacher and he says that I could definitely do well on the SAT Subject Test but the biggest obstacle would be learning to write DBQs. He also said that if I started reading an APUSH textbook now, I wouldn’t be able to retain much information (as I’d have to cram a 2 year AP course into 5 months).</p>
I’m also taking 3 APs this year (from 0 APs last year) and can’t dedicate an enormous amount of time, which is what makes the review book appealing. Can I do it? Any tips? Scoring a 4/5 would be difficult, but I’m up for the challenge.</p>
Thank you all!</p>
